Kerrville State Hospital, Petitioner v. Rose M. Fernandez, Respondent; Texas Parks and Wildlife Department…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the State Applications Act waives sovereign immunity of state agencies for claims under the Anti‑Retaliation Law, allowing such suits and limiting damages to those authorized by the Texas Tort Claims Act. The Court affirmed the appellate judgments for both Fernandez and Gonzalez, while noting a dissent and a concurrence that criticized the majority's reasoning.
